Read our privacy policy Single-use vapes look set to be banned by the government after concerns that children could become addicted to them. It comes just a week after research from recycling campaign group Material Focus showed that the number of disposable vapes thrown away has quadrupled to five million per week over the past year. Reports say ministers are drawing up plans to ban disposable vapes to help protect children However, only 17 per cent of people correctly recycle their vapes in a shop or local recycling centre, Material Focus said. Scott Butler, executive director of Material Focus, a non-profit organisation which campaigns to increase recycling rates, said the problem of single-use vapes has got “out of control”.
